Second Story Window Washing Plan!

I live in a two-story house, and the upstairs windows desperately needed cleaning.Since I have a set of two double hung windows in all of the rooms upstairs, I had this bright idea!I would buy a squeegee, open one side of the set of windows, and wash and squeegee the closed window next to it.Then repeat the process on the other side.Genius!

I looked for a squeegee that had a sponge for cleaning on one side, and of course, a rubber squeegee on the other side.Specifically, I was looking for the squeegee to be pliable.I didn't want it too stiff.I decided on the Mallory Telescopic Window Washer.

I got it home, mixed up some cleaning solution and put my plan in motion.Wow!I think this is working!Scrubbed off the nasty grime, rinsed, and now I'm ready to dry things off with the rubber squeegee.But wait a minute!The squeegee is leaving streaks!The rubber wasn't making good contact with the glass.Shoot!I had to think fast!I found some old lint-free rags, wrapped them around the head of the squeegee, and dried my windows.And you know what?It worked pretty well!I don't think they're completely streak-free, but they're a darn-sight better than they looked before!

I got my upstairs windows clean, although, not the way I had planned.

In defense of the squeegee, if I'd been standing in front of the window and not off to the side, hanging out a window, I might have had better contact with the glass.Also, the Mallory Telescopic Window Washer had a good range adjustment in the handle.All in all, I can't call it bad' just because it didn't fit my hair-brained idea!
